Penalties Will Increase for Fatal Boating DUIs
Alabama has a longstanding boating culture that is active year-round. Fun on the water for many avid boaters, includes drinking beers and other alcoholic beverages. While drinking and boating is illegal, the penalties were never as severe for boaters as they were for the drivers of motor vehicles. Now, the Alabama Senate has approved a bill that cracks down on drinking and boating. According to the new laws, penalties will be stiffer for those who cause a deadly accident while drunk, equivalent to those for a drunk driver. The bill is on its way to the House, which has already passed a similar bill that is heading to the Senate.
While the bill will not impact all drinking and boating cases, it will result in severe penalties for drivers who are responsible for a deadly boating accident.
